This week, President François Hollande reshuffles his government following the Socialist Party’s poor showing at local elections. Manuel Valls becomes the new Prime Minister. Hollande’s ex-partner and former presidential candidate Ségolène Royal also returns to the political scene. Also, thousands of cash-strapped tenants face eviction after the end of a winter grace period. Finally, we meet an artist who is spending a fortnight living as a bear.

Born in Belgium, raised in Italy and now resident in France, he holds a degree in Japanese. He previously worked for CNN International. At FRANCE 24, he presents the news on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings and also the show France in Focus.
